Nice Save! A Review by |
| Well, I had the chance to check out "Saving Silverman"
this past weekend since there wasn't really anything I wanted to see that came out this
week. Although I was thrown off by a few things, I really enjoyed this
"younger" version of "There's Something About Mary". In "Saving Silverman" two friends (Jack Black & Steve Zahn) try to save their friendship and their friend David Silverman (Jason Biggs) from the manipulative hands of the gorgeous psychiatrist Judith, played by Amanda Peet. The friends try everything from bribery to hooking Silverman up with his past love Sandy, played by Amanda Detmer ("Final Destination"). Unfortunately, none of that works and time is running out because Sandy is a weekend away from becoming a nun. One thing left to do, kidnap Judith and fake her death. This movie is over the top humor. If you like movies made by the Farley brothers, or you were entertained by "Dude Where's My Car" then you'll enjoy this movie. There are some very funny moments in this film, and the very simplistic plot is psuedo made for this film. Unlike her role in "The WHole Nine Yards" Amanda Peet isn't as funny as usual..she's used more as a sex piece (I mean you stare at her her boob revealing dresses like 3 or four times in the movie) with a little humor every now and then. Instead, the humor comes from the hilarious duo of Jack Black and Steve Zahn. That duo is hilarious, and I would love to see another movie with just the two of them. Jason Biggs, on the other hand, I'm not to happy with. In this movie he looks out of place. I find it hard believing that Biggs's is a near aged friend with the likes of Steve Zahn and Jack Black. I know there are many more people out there besides Biggs to put in this role, but yet they chose the pie humper. That=an enigma of mine. I do, however, think that the interaction between he and Peet is good and the dynamics between the two characters personality is both seen through emotions and their physical attributes. All in all, I got a damn good laugh out of this film. There really isn't a time where I'm not laughing my head off, except for the scenes of oddness when all three of the males are on the screen. I would recommend this film for anyone who wants to laugh their ass of one weekend. Its smart enough, funny enough and the duo of Zahn and Black are more than enough to get you through this film. Rating:  out of four. |
